1 Airborne
◎It is a great honor to have such a humble office here. Applause!◎
Brilliant Star White Tower, 5:45 p.m.
Yan Xunzhi yawned and staggered out of the corridor.
The light above her head had dimmed to a yellowish color. She skillfully stepped past the bag pile at the door, pulled out her schoolbag from the corner, and turned on the flashlight.
In the spot where the light was shining, there was a pale face with only whites in the eye sockets and bloodshot eyes, looking straight at her.
"ah!"
Yan Xunzhi was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, and the flashlight fell to the ground and rolled for a distance.
The pile of schoolbags rustled a few times, followed by the sound of them falling apart.
Having recovered from the shock just now, Yan Xunzhi realized that this was not a ghost corpse at all. He was furious, "Shu Chi!"
"Oops, I'm being pinned down. Can you help me lift the bag?"
Yan Xunzhi ignored her, picked up the flashlight angrily, and walked out with his bag.
Shu Chi struggled for a long time and got out of the pile of schoolbags. Seeing Yan Xunzhi had already walked out, he ran after her and hooked her neck from behind, "I didn't mean to scare you, I just went in to look for my bag, and suddenly heard someone coming..."
I don't want to listen to her nonsense. Yan Xunzhi didn't want to care what she said and turned his head away.
Shu Chi moved closer and shook her ingratiatingly, "Don't be angry, I didn't know it was you... Miss, don't be angry."
Yan Xunzhi sniffed and pushed her out, his voice a little vague, "No, don't touch me."
Shu Chi shuddered, took a furtive glance, and immediately expressed his opinion, "I was really wrong, so wrong! Oh, baby... please forgive me just once!"
At the same time, the eight claws exerted force at the same time, firmly sucking on Yan Xunzhi.
After dragging him a distance, Yan Xunzhi finally couldn't hold back his laughter and immediately put on a straight face, "...Why are you like a mangy dog?"
Smiling means everything is fine. Shu Chi still held her and shook her twice, "What's the matter, what's the matter, I do."
"Okay, okay, go ahead if you want."
"Hey, now that you've said that, I won't do it anymore."
Using the stairs, he quickly let go of her and got down from her.
The second exam was the day after tomorrow, and most of the students were buried in their studies. Not many left at this hour. The corridor, with its sound-absorbing walls, was extremely quiet. The light repeatedly lengthened and shortened their shadows.
After eighty-two years underground, on the ruins of a bygone era where technology was almost completely destroyed, humans finally made a breakthrough in the transformation of human body functions.
After eighty-seven years underground, a large number of functional transformation pills called evolve entered the market.
It was not until the 1990s that EV drugs were officially included in the new regulations. All primary and secondary school students had to go to their respective communities every week to collect pills, take them under supervision, and have professionals sign to confirm.
Students start taking EV pills from the time they enter school, stop taking them when they enter the White Tower at the age of 16, and then switch to injecting EV pills after the end of daily classes, and continue taking them until graduation.
There are two types of differentiation: sentinel, or guide.
"Do you think you will be a guide or a sentinel?" Shu Chi asked, hooking his arm around her shoulder.
Yan Xunzhi thought about his recent test results in distress, "I think the sentinel is still there. If the differentiation direction is a guide, my mental test... should not fail."
EV will adjust its direction according to the characteristics of its own body. Whether it differentiates into a sentinel or a guide is almost determined innately and can be seen in daily life.
Due to the influence of the drugs, the guides have stronger mental strength and the sentinels have better physical fitness after differentiation.
Shu Chi calmly pointed out, "But you just barely passed the tests except for sprinting. Is it possible... that you just performed exceptionally well in other subjects?"
Yan Xunzhi: ...
She really works hard in class and studying! Who can be blamed for her lack of talent?
Shu Chi pointed to the classroom behind him, his mouth exaggeratedly big enough to swallow an egg whole, "You call this hard work? Look at those top students in our classroom, who are not still studying late at night..."
"But it's already 5:45!" Yan Xunzhi felt dizzy. "My class starts at 7 in the morning and I've been studying all day..."
The only thing to be thankful for might be that the failure rate was nearly 30%, and even though everyone studied late into the night, there were still 30% who were at the same level as her.
She barely managed to save her face. It wasn't because she was bad at it, it was because the test questions were too difficult.
Shu Chi squinted at her, "One day of study? You only study ten hours a day? Who's the one sleeping in class?"
Isn't that a common sense lesson? Water is deadly, what's so good about it?
Yan Xunzhi silently complained to himself, trying to avoid being caught, so he wisely decided to change the subject. "They said a new group of instructors were assigned here recently. Have you heard about it?"
Shu Chi nodded and pointed to the bulletin board in the distant playground. "The business cards were hung up yesterday. They are all over there."
Yan Xunzhi was surprised at how quickly she got the news. "Have you read it all?"
Shu Chi waved his hand, "No, there were a lot of people crowding there to watch after school yesterday, and I was still wondering what it was. There were too many people, and I couldn't squeeze in at all, so I just left."
She was not very interested in these introductions - after all, the Canxing White Tower was just a mediocre white tower in the corner of the dungeon, and the number of scouts who had entered the headquarters in the past ten years could be counted on one hand.
The level of instructors sent from such places is pretty much the same, and they are basically rotated among several very ordinary white towers nearby.
Occasionally, there are A-level special instructors sent by the headquarters, saying that they are here to improve teaching qualifications and enhance teaching. In fact, they are just here to show their respect and teach a few outdoor classes before they can enjoy their retirement.
But Yan Xunzhi was quite curious, "Then let's go and take a closer look at which instructors are here."
Or maybe she wanted to change the subject quickly.
The bulletin board seemed to have just been repainted. The borders and bottom, which had been mottled for half a lifetime, were repainted with black paint. There was not even a scratch on the edge, and it shone with the unique luster of new paint. The arrangement of the instructors' names inside was slightly changed.
Yan Xunzhi was used to looking from left to right, but this time his eyes fell on the far right.
Regardless of anything else, it’s just that the enlarged ID photo and the glittering golden S logo underneath the ID photo are so bright that it’s hard to ignore.
The golden, oversized font clearly showed the difference between her and other instructors like a peacock spreading its tail: S-level special instructor
Kong Wei
Yan Xunzhi blinked hard and tried several times before finally pulling his gaze away from the magnet.
Turning to look at Shu Chi, she also had a stunned expression. The two looked at each other, as if looking in a mirror, with no reference value at all. "I... am I seeing things right?"
"I saw it too... S-rank instructor..."
Not to mention marginal White Towers like Canxing, there are only a handful of S-level instructors in the central White Towers, and they only occasionally teach on the front line.
Even for the best students who have not yet differentiated, it is a stroke of luck to meet them in the White Tower.
Now there is one Canxing White Tower.
Even if he doesn't teach, and just sits in the office building, he will definitely show up on the playground after the second assessment. Canxing White Tower got such a treasure, and it is very low-key not to put up banners and grab loudspeakers to broadcast day and night for dozens of miles.
Yan Xunzhi and Shu Chi looked at each other.
No wonder a lot of people crowded here yesterday, if it wasn't for the approaching second assessment, all matters would have been prioritized and the tower would have been strictly controlled, and the S-level instructor being specially dispatched to the Canxing White Tower would have been explosive news.
Wartime capability is the primary productive force. No matter how troublesome, how bad-tempered, or how unpopular an S-level sentry is, his superiors will still use him obediently.
It is impossible for them to be demoted. The only possibility is that they took the initiative to be transferred.
But... who would be willing to give up the good conditions in the Central White Tower and travel thousands of miles to such a remote place like Canxing!
Even if you want to enjoy a peaceful life, you can still get quite good treatment in an ordinary white tower. You won't be assigned to a combat mission, unlike the marginal white towers where there is always the possibility of annihilation. How desperate must you be to come here?
Yan Xunzhi couldn't help but look at the name again. Kong Wei.
It's really weird.
A high level means being willful.
More important than the arrival of the S-level instructor is the second assessment. Yan Xunzhi chatted enthusiastically with Shu Chi for five minutes, then took out his student card, which was instantly a cold shower on his head. He clocked in dejectedly and entered the free training room.
There was no one in the free training room.
The classroom has a lights-out time of 6:30, so even if you want to learn then, you won't have the chance. Most students choose to study the written content first, and then come to the 24-hour free training room after lights-out.
Yan Xunzhi said that this was a good way to travel during off-peak hours, so there would be fewer people...
In reality, textbooks are like incomprehensible books. Just looking at the cover makes your scalp tingle and your mind wander. It's better to practice your arms and legs. Although her arms and legs are not very good, at least she can use them, and she will do whatever she can to improve her total score.
The pass rate of the second assessment is related to the initial rating - this is the only rating that is determined before differentiation.
Through manual assessment and screening, 20% of the students will be eliminated and classified as E-level.
After the catastrophe, almost all of mankind's scientific and technological capabilities were lost. Many instruments were moved underground and became unusable due to the influence of magnetic fields, and technology rapidly regressed.
In the underground era, genetic screening wasn't a top priority, and even a portion of defective samples was reserved by default. After all, some people would inevitably be forced to sacrifice themselves, so a certain amount of defective samples was a necessity for the Federation.
According to comprehensive statistics, approximately 20% of defective embryos are produced each year, resulting in a 20% elimination rate.
There are only a limited number of genes that are included in embryo screening and directly abandoned for hatching, including innate immune diseases, congenital genetic diseases, deformities, chromosomal disorders...
Many defective genes cannot be detected, and even with S-level extraction and incubation, they may also have problems such as low IQ.
About 15% of those eliminated in the initial screening have genetic problems, such as weak memory, poor comprehension, poor health... and 5% are normal but not motivated or outstanding enough.
As long as you are classified as E, unless you are lucky enough to differentiate into S level, you can only survive in the dungeon with the lowest level of rights for the rest of your life.
This is where the law of the jungle begins.
Even if you are born a rabbit, you can survive if you run fast enough. Even if you are born a wolf, you will still be eaten if you are left behind in the pack.
Although Yan Xunzhi's grades weren't great and her concentration was poor, she was still somewhat better than her peers. So she figured she wasn't a rabbit, but probably a less robust wolf.
Naturally, her task became to avoid being the unlucky one left behind and abandoned to be eaten.
You don't need to work too hard, but you can't completely stop working either.
After all, it has been developed underground for nearly two hundred years, and genetic screening always needs to be iterated, and the pass rate is slowly and steadily increasing.
There are fewer and fewer rabbits, but the elimination rate remains the same. The wolves are chasing each other at an increasingly faster speed and with increasingly higher demands.
The benefits are collective. The quality of students has improved significantly, from a 70% failure rate to 30%. In recent years, only a handful of students have received a D grade.
The downside is...
Yan Xunzhi swiped his card with tears in his eyes, and worked with Shu Chi to put on the exoskeleton assistive device, connected mentally, and stood on the training platform.
Everyone is competing internally and improving at full speed. There are no more relaxing days. Even if you are pickled like a salted fish, you still have to fry it on both sides.
You have to turn it over yourself and fry it until both sides are crispy but not burnt.

When he was in high school, Chai Qing tore up an unclaimed love letter.
There was no further follow-up to the incident, and she thought it was a prank and didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, fifteen years later, the financial sponsor who supported her asked her casually after dinner: Do you still remember that you received a pink love letter?
The financier will never give up, and once Chai Qing falls into the trap, there is no turning back...
When I opened my eyes, I was suddenly back in high school.
The love letter in the pink envelope was lying quietly in the deepest part of the table hole.
hehe.
Chai Qing thought of the unspeakable days and nights when he was kept by someone, gnashed his teeth, and vowed revenge.
Lin Chaoyun, you never dreamed that one day you would fall into my hands!
——You’re finished.
